4.4 Camera Configuration and Control
4.4.1
Camera Interface (Select Camera)
A GigE camera interfaces the camera block and the frame grab-
ber block. The basic structure of GigE interface is designed to
keep camera block as a Camera Link signaling (not real Camera
Link but signal and data format follow Camera Link definition).
Therefore, the Coyote application software calls for “Standard
Camera Link” as the GEViCAM connection. (Fig. 24)
In order to operate the frame grabber functions, the camera and
PC must be connected, the proper driver and Coyote Application
soft-ware need to be installed.
Please refer section 2 and 3 for the software and driver installa-
tion, camera setup and application software device detection.
Now you are ready to use the application software and control
various camera functions. The
GP-series
platform
can perform vast tasks beyond normal camera
functions. Let’s go through the Coyote application
software. After all connections are done, you will
see “Coyote” window. Open “Acquisition” and
“start”. An Image display pops up and the acquisi-
tion rate is displayed. (Fig. 25)
Next, click “Configure” button and mark “show
advanced configuration page” at the bottom left.
4.4.2 Pixel Format and Image Size Selection
Open up “Pixel” tab and select proper data either
“Grayscale” or “RGB color”.
The pixel depth is selectable.
Factory Default: 8-bit. (Fig. 26)
Then go to “Image”
tab and input the cor-
rect pixel numbers. It
cannot go more than
the camera output pix-
els (Active pixel num-
bers. See specifica-
tion). If higher number
than active pixel is
selected, display may
freeze. (Fig.27)
